The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) was created as a national scientific research institution that would undertake research for the benefit of Australia's primary and secondary industries. For more than 70 years now it has provided the know‐how for revamping and modernizing traditional Australian industries and for establishing new industries, such as biotechnology and information technology. A summary of the organization's extensive list of achievements is given in this essay.
